Well, when I used it, the only data stored on the CBMR server was operating system data, not user data. Unless that changed, the big amount of data is still used from the TSM server.
Like I said, been a while since I used it, but then, OS data was gathered from the CBMR server and user data (that is, the large amount of data you will be restoring which is databases, user files or whatever server you are restoring) was restored from TSM. Again, Christian Svensson knows this alot better than I do, I evaluated it once and decided to go for TBMR for my customers out of simplicity.

CBMR can keep configuration on diskette, USB drive, network drive or on TSM Server, but it does not meen it keeps backup data on TSM Server. TBMR keeps configuration and backup data on TSM Server and can read them from TSM after booting from CD by using WinPE1 or WinPE2 (depend on OS). So only TBMR is totally integrared with TSM and cann't keep backup data on disks or tapes. We are using TBMR 6.3.1 and TSM Clients 6.1.3.3 and 6.2.2.0 with TSM Server 5.5.4.1. Everything is working perfectly. ________________________________________ From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Daniel Sparrman [daniel.sparr...@exist.se] Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2011 9:54 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] Ang: Re: TBMR or CBMR I dont work at or use CBMR myself, but I did evaluate it once. It does actually integrate with TSM since it uses TSM as a repository. So that it would be a standalone product is wrong (unless something changed in a newer version). I'd still select TBMR out of several reasons though; a) same producer, easier support b) It's using MS standards (as in ASR) c) It's easier to handle as to licenses since again, it's the same producer b) It does what it's intended todo. I have also heared from several customers that they were having issues related to network cards when it came to CBMR, I guess I'll be corrected on this one by Christian.

It is not integrated with TSM directly. Grigori G. Solonovitch Please consider the environment before printing this Email.
